Weekend Birdery: Great Tits
April 17, 2010
GrrlScientist couldn’t resist the pun in her recent post, “What Do Great Tits Reveal about the Genetics of Personality?”
The post reviews a study of four wild populations of Great Tits (pictured right) in Europe, examining whether certain gene sequences correlated with exploratory behavior. The study found that the potential correlation…well, there was no correlation really.
Oh well. That’s science. If not increasing the store of our knowledge, at least it offers up opportunities for the endless propagation of adolescent puns and intrigue that is weekend birdery.
